wow, very beautiful. do they just stay in a hole all day? i hear they are hard to keep but if not i would like to try one for my new tank.

They pretty much stay in thier hole all the time. They are quite easy to keep once you get a healthy specimen. I have found that the key to keeping them happy is to have a decent sand bed (about 2" works or more) and provide them with plenty of rubble to build and line the walls of their cave. A hole in a pure sand bed does not work as it keeps collapsing and frustrates the fish into moving and jumping out of the tank.
Once it starts building a hole where you want it, start giving it some rubble rock near the hole and it will use them. Very fascinating to watch.

Incredible pics Sanjay! What do these guys eat? I am planning my inhabitants for a 120 and have always liked these guys.

Thanks,
Jason

Heres mine. Tank set up in April. Jawfish introduced 5/21. They have stayed together like this until two days ago. They separated for a day, were back together for a day and are separated again.

What's this all about?

I have some kind of pod storm going on in the tank. That is what the white specs are in the last pic.

The jawfish are constantly hitting on them.
